Today it’s my turn on the blog tour for My Daughter Is Missing. My review is written with thanks to the team at Bookouture for inviting me on the tour and for my copy of the book.

Blurb:

My little girl has vanished. And I can’t tell anyone…

My nine-year-old daughter Hollie should be leaving school smiling and laughing with all the other children but she’s not here. I run frantically, checking everywhere, my voice growing louder, but I can’t see her bright blue eyes and heart-shaped face anywhere. Pure panic washes over me. This is my worst nightmare.

Her teacher asks me if she should call the police. My heart stops.I shake my head and pretend I’ve made a mistake. I see a look of suspicion creep into the teacher’s eyes. But the police can’t know. No one can. My hands shake as I realise I’m completely on my own.

I know in my gut my daughter hasn’t just wandered off. She’s been taken. Someone must know the truth about my past…

I’ve spent so long protecting Hollie, but I always knew this day might come. And I’ll stop at nothing to get my little girl back.

An absolutely nail-biting, addictive psychological thriller novel from multi-million-copy, bestselling author JD Kirk. This book is sooooo fast-paced you won’t be able to put it down! For anyone who loves Freida McFadden, John Marrs and T.M. Logan.

Review:

I must admit (to my shame) to have only.read one of JD Kirk’s previous novels, so I came to My Daughter Is Missing with almost fresh eyes. It was clear from the outset that he knows exactly how to reel a reader in and keep them there, and he did not seem phased at all by the slight shift in genre. His writing is so fast paced and slick that I had no trouble at all racing through the chapters!

My Daughter Is Missing is narrated mostly by Elizabeth, and occasionally her sister, Sasha. I didn’t warm to Elizabeth as easily as I thought I might, but her reluctance to involve the police in Hollie’s disappearance makes it clear that she has something to hide, and I was incredibly intrigued as to what this might be. I would have liked more chapters from Sasha’s viewpoint, as I felt she was a more mysterious character and I wanted to know how she had become the character we see in the novel.

As we reach the denouement of My Daughter Is Missing, and more worms come out of the can, there are several twists and turns – most of which were a complete surprise to me. I loved the tension as the novel sped towards it’s ending.

I must definitely read more from this author in future!

My Daughter Is Missing is available from Amazon.
